Running forums that constantly break the law and add political pressure to the system seem to suck. I have nothing but admiration for the people that resist.

If anything, the differences between 4chan and 8chan aren't too far off from the differences between Reddit and Voat. In no particular order,
4chan continues to sustain a much larger population than 8chan. While I couldn't find exact statistics for 4chan's post rates, it's safe to say that 8chan's fastest boards move at a rate not too far off of 4chan's slower boards. More niche boards on 8chan range between borderline dead (AKA a few posts a day at most) to effectively dead (Posts only occur once a week, if that)
Speaking of boards, 4chan's boards are decided by the site owners, whereas 8chan allows users to make their own boards. This has caused some on 4chan to refer to it as Redditchan.
8chan's global moderation can basically be explained as such: Don't post shit that's illegal under US law. Any further rules are determined by the owners of each board. 4chan's moderation is more restrained.
8chan leans far more right, at least in terms of the modern definition of the left-right paradigm. Outside of /leftypol/, the site largely consists of anti-SJW liberal types at leftmost, and hardline National Socialists at rightmost.
To answer your second question, my best guess would be that the people that still regular 4chan over 8chan are willing to accept the censorship of the site in exchange for more active discussions of topics. But it likely varies from person to person.
The difference is mainly in the etiquette of the site.
Why do people keep raiding reddit? Because people are there and a message can go out. Bet you've never heard about BeamStat Chan (http://bm6hsivrmdnxmw2f.onion/chan/general)). Because nobody is there.
Running in and jizzing stupid shit is allowed on 4chan. 8chan will look at you in disgust. Think through what you have to say and have a conversation. Cuss less than on 4chan. Sit and read how people move, 8chans more for adults.

Moot sold 4chan and replaced old mods with SRS type ones.

... Why? If 4chan was fully under "our" control, it would be phenomenal and a huge win. Why did he sell it?

Money? By itself it is shit, but what it buys tastes good.

Not expecting you to write a full analysis but perhaps a TLDR of the difference?

4chan is for cucks, 8ch is for fashy goys who don't know they're being cucked by Jim and that invalid, Hotwheels.
Meguca and NeXTchan are the only ones that aren't pozzed.
